BRING YOUR OWN CAMERA
This year, instead of bringing in a professional photographer to take
pictures and sell them to parents, the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre has
decided to allow parents and grandparents to bring their own cameras and
take as many photos as you would like. We know that it it nice to have a
group photo with mom and dad along with Santa as well, so this means that
you can end up with some great memories that will last a lifetime and not
have to worry about paying the $15 or $20 for a professional photo.
So far, the public response to this change in policy has been
fantastic. Parents are looking forward to being able to take their time
and take as many photos as they want.
